Practice on small table

[normanbrown@uwclub.net]

I don't get the chance to practice on a full size table every day, so I was wondering if there is any merit in buying a 6 x 3 table for use at home. Or is ther a way I could build a 6 x 4 table myself to resembel the end of a table.
I am 66 and just played my first league game.

6ft table is really really small

No chance of fitting an 8ft or 9ft table in your house ?

Yes 6ftx3ft ok but Not the Best Obviously but Better than No Table! As it does get your Cue Arm going and gets your eye in alittle and gets you cueing straight.

I Started Playing Snooker when I was a Toddler with Marbles on the Carpet!

Then I Upgraded to Tiny Table...Then Upgraded again to 4ft Table...Then Upgraded to 6ftx3ft Table and Played on that for around 8yrs or More....

Then I Upgraded to 7ftx4ft Table....Which I had so much Enjoyment on its Unbelieveable and Yes I did Improve alot.

If you wanna get to Some Sort of Standard at Snooker on 12ftx6ft Table then too be Honest you have to Practise quite alot on that size as 6ftx3ft the Angles etc are Completely Different as you know and alot Harder Game on 12ftx6ft Table.

Hope this Helps Alittle Gaz.

Oh I forgot to Mention.........2yrs Ago I Bought my 11yr Old Son a 6ftx3ft Very Old Billiard/Snooker Table with Slate Bed ...And I still enjoy playing on that with him....

Thanks for your advice. I'll try and get on a full size table more, but may buy a 6x3 for the fun of it.
